READY TO SET SAIL? Annual Gathering of
Eagles
June 13, 2010
On the Schooner Thomas E Lannon
Picture yourself
relaxing on the deck of this beautiful 65 foot schooner
as she sails out of Gloucester harbor on a light
southwesterly breeze. Join us for a two-hour sail
and get a taste for what it was like to sail on
a fishing schooner a hundred years ago. Help the
crew raise the sails, or just sit back and take
in the sights and sounds of Gloucester's coastline.
Our wooden ship is only five years old, but was
built along the lines of a traditional 1903 schooner.
On June 13, 2010, the Lannon
set
sail promptly at 6:00pm from the Seven Seas Wharf,
adjacent to the Gloucester House Restaurant, Rogers
Street, Gloucester. The weather was fair with
just the right amount of wind.
